Emergency Pet Care

Unexpected pet emergencies are stressful for pets and pet owners. During our regular operating hours, Bear Valley Veterinary Care Center is available to help pets with any sudden medical issues. The following conditions and symptoms are just some cases in which you should seek veterinary care for your pet immediately. We recommend printing or bookmarking this page so you can always reference it easily.

Shock, which generally is associated with sudden pale gums and non-responsiveness

Hemorrhaging (bleeding)

Bloating (distention of belly)

Persistent vomiting and/or vomiting blood

Sudden increase in water consumption

Bloody diarrhea or diarrhea that worsens or persists over time

Lack of appetite for more than 48 hours

High fever

Choking and pawing at the face

Sudden lameness or deviation of bones

Unexplained seizures

Injuries from encounters with automobiles

If your common sense tells you to seek emergency care for your pet, listen! The faster we can help an injured or ill pet, the better. Treatment is always more successful when it starts early.

These items can help you provide first aid to your pet right away. Then, you should schedule an appointment with your Bear Valley veterinarian as soon as you can. While providing first aid to your pet, avoid getting bit by muzzling your pet or, if your pet is small enough and this won’t cause them excess pain, by wrapping them in a towel to hold them in one place. This is important even if your pet is never aggressive. If your pet is experiencing pain, they may react in a way that is out of character for them.

In the event of a pet emergency, call Bear Valley Veterinary Care Center at 720.943.9544 immediately.

Our Goal

Our hospital motto is “Small hospital community with large hospital standards”. What that means is that we dearly value each and every individual relationship that we have with our clients and their four-legged children, but we also hold very high standards and will strive to always recommend what is best for your pet. We will continue to make recommendations when we feel it is necessary but ultimately your pets level of care is your choice.
